Application led March 5,

T o all w from t may concern.'

Be it known that I, JULiUs ENGELBRECHT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boone, in the county of Pueblo and State of Colorado, have invented a new and useful Scraper, of which the following is a speciiication.

It is the obj ect of this invention to provide a simple device, adapted to be attached to a ditcher-body shaped to throw the dirt in opposite directions, the device being so constructed that when it is attached to the body, the body will throw the dirt laterally in one direction only.

With the above and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. y

In the accompanying drawings Figure l shows in side elevation, a ditcherbody whereunto the device forming the subject matter of this application has been attached; Fig. 2 is an elevation showing the opposite side ofthe structure from that de lineated in Fig. I; and Fig. 3 is a top plan.

The numeral 1 designates a ditcher-body adapted to constitute a part of a ditching machine or like mechanism. Since the ditcher-body may be of any desired sort it has been reduced to the simplest possible form in the drawings, and is depicted in the form of a mere block including mold boards 2 and 3 adapted to pass the dirt laterally. in opposite directions. For convenience in describing the way in which the attachment forming the subject matter of this application may be reversed, the sides of the body vare denoted respectively by numerals l and 5.

The body'I may include a point 6 defined byV shares 7, the shares 7 approaching the horizontal more closely than do the mold boards 2 and 3.

reduced end l0, merging into a tongue 1l, the tongue 11 being disposed approximately parallel to the defiector 8 and to the rear 'thereof. A support l2, preferably in the form of a strip, is disposed at an acute angle to the deflector S and projects rearwardly therefrom, the support being supplied at its forward end with an acutely disposed inwardly projecting extension 14 attached by a securing device l5 to the rear surface of the deiiector 8.

In the drawings, the support 12 extends along the side 4 of the body l and is attached thereto by securing elements 16. The tongue l1 rests against the mold board 3 and is attached thereto by a securingdevice 17.. The construction is such that the plate or deflector 8 is held in approximately parallelism to the mold board 3. 1

If desired, the deiiector 8 and attendant parts may be turned upside down, the support l2 being attached to the side 5 of the mold board, the tongue l1 being attachedv to the mold board 2.

It is obvious that the device forming the subject matter of this application may be reversed, so as to throw, to opposite sides, at the will of an operator, dirt which, othern wise, would be cast laterally in opposite directions, at the same time, by the elements 24-3 and 77.

Referring to Fig. 2, it will be observed that when the attachment is assembled with the body l, the lower flange 9 of the defiector 8 rests upon oneof the shares 7, to aid in steadying and sustaining the de flector.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is 'i l. The combination with a ditcher-body the body, the deflector being reversible to dispose the deflector in approximate parallelism with respect to the other mold board, and to permit said parts to be attached, respectively, to the first specified mold board and to the other side of the body.
